A simple and clinically applicable model to predict liver-related morbidity after hepatic resection for hepatocellular carcinoma.

Hepatic resection for HCC was safe with 90-day liver-related morbidity and mortality rates of 8.5% and 0.8%, respectively. The developed point-based scoring system with seven factors could allow the prediction of the risk of liver-related morbidity after resection for HCC.
